Rajesh Prasad, 43, was busy with construction work in Balabgarh when he slipped and fell from a height of 10 feet. He was taken to a nearby government hospital. He was eventually taken to the AIIMS trauma center where he was declared brain dead.
His family has now donated his organs.
Allocated through National Organ and Tissue Transplantation Organization (NOTTO): His liver was allocated to AIIMS-Delhi and his kidneys to AIIMS Delhi and Safdarjung Hospital. His corneas are preserved at the National Eye Bank at AIIMS while his heart valves are preserved at the heart center, AIIMS, according to a statement from AIIMS.
According to AIIMS officials, the family was in shock and initially could not accept the concept of organ donation. However, ORBO transplant counselors and coordinators have held multiple sessions with the family to help them understand the process.
According to Dr. Aarti Vig, President of ORBO, AIIMS, it is very difficult for a family to make a decision about organ donation when they are still coping with their loss. “However, when the family makes the decision, all stakeholder groups — from neurosurgeons, the transplant team, hospital management, and the police — work quickly to coordinate the full process of brain death certification, donor organ management, and counseling,” she added. .
